A 57-year-old man was arrested on Dec. 21 for his suspected involvement in the death of a 73-year-old man following a scuffle at a food court in Woodlands.
According to a Singapore Police Force (SPF) news release, the police received calls for assistance at a food court at Block 768 Woodlands Avenue 6 at about 9:20pm on Dec. 21.
Upon their arrival, the 73-year-old man was found unconscious.
He was conveyed to the hospital, where he subsequently passed away.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim had purportedly gotten into a dispute with the 57-year-old, which escalated into a scuffle, SPF said.
The 57-year-old will be charged in court on Dec. 23 for voluntarily causing grievous hurt.
The offence carries a jail term which may extend to 10 years, and a fine or caning.
"The Police have zero tolerance towards such acts of violence and will take firm action against those who blatantly disregard the law," SPF said.
